Magic Johnson’s painfully obvious World Series Game 5 post is going mega-viral
If anyone understands what as if you were tied 2-2 with a downloadable title, that is Magic Johnson. He’s been in a few slumps himself during his time with the Lakers, so he knows what his Dodgers are dealing with.
Before the key match 5 of World SeriesJohnson, co-owner of the Dodgers, transferred to social networks to state the obvious. Whoever breaks the 2-2 tie on Wednesday will be in a great position to win it all.
“With the series tied at 2-2, Game 5 is very important,” Johnson said. “Whichever team wins takes control of the series!”
On Tuesday, the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Dodgers 6-2 to return to the series. This was after the Dodgers achieved a historic 18-inning victory in game 3, fueled by Freddie Freeman’s walk-off home run.
Either way, the World Series will return to Toronto for games six and seven. The Dodgers are looking to repeat as World Series champions, while the Blue Jays are looking for their first since 1993.
Meanwhile, Johnson is looking to win his third championship as part owner of the Dodgers. In 2012, Johnson was part of the ownership group that purchased the franchise for a record $2 billion.
The other two times were in 2020 and 2024.
Twice when the Magic faced a 2-2 tie
During his career, Johnson and the Showtime Lakers were tied 2-2 in the 1984 and 1985 NBA Finals.
In 1984, the Lakers met the Boston Celtics. It was the first time Johnson and Larry Bird faced off in the finals, the biggest sports story of the year. After the two teams split the first two, the Celtics went on to sweep the Lakers in seven games.
The following year, the Lakers faced the Celtics again. This time, the Lakers broke a 2-2 tie and won the title in six games.
